Just an FYI! The American Heart Association Heart and Stroke walk is February 28th at the Tempe Beach Park. My family will be walking in it again this year but with the special emphasis this year as both heart attacks and strokes have greatly affected our family.

My dad had his heart attack in May 2008 and of course we lost Nana to a major stroke as well.

If anyone wants to donate and sponsor us or join us in this walk please let me know asap. Thanks

Heart walk web site is: www.phoenixheartwalk.org to register. You can donate under my name
SharaDawn Miller or just come walk with me.

Wow, how time flies. Another few weeks have passed and not much has changed. The cold and flu season hit us and wiped us out for several days but all is well now.

Zach: Is doing good in school, loves his new found independence and playing with the kids in the neighborhood

Steven: Sports, sports, sports! He's all up on the basketball team changes and keeping up the good work at the gym and workouts at home.

Jon: Had a wonderful birthday with his family all in town, and his working, working, working as the iep's never stop. He can't wait until spring break.

SharaDawn: Work, school, sleep. That is about all I do. Thank heavens for Jon as he really helps out a lot at home. Master's degree projects are NO FUN!

It's all about Zachariah

This was lots of fun - Eric shared veteran's day with Zach and went to his school. Zach participated in his first school program. Boy can he sing! Then he had a great birthday with is friends and cousins.

Vacation with Travis & Jill

The Utah vacation was fun. We Wii'd it up, played in the snow, did some family site seeing and mom got lots of rest!

Hi Family and Friends,

We are trying this blogging thing in hopes to keep in better contact with everyone. Let us know how it goes and please add to our post. I hope this will be fun for everyone.

Hey family & Friends,

The Smith-Miller family has had a terrific week. This is what's new in our world:

1. Zach learned to count money. He is great with pennies and nickels.
2. Steven started Special Olympic basketball and of course is now dedicated again to working out with mom and the new Wii fitness program
3. Jon is busy with his students as usual, spending time working on IEP's but most of all he's been working in the yard pulling and killing all those nasty weeds that have invaded our desert landscape. He also has been harvesting our broccoli and cauliflower out of our garden. This has been really exciting.
4. SharaDawn has taken time off from school to get organized and start her master's degree project. Lit searches are really time consuming and no fun.

Hope all of you have a great week - and feel free to update us on how you are doing!
